A postcardiac surgery client with a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level of 45 mg/dL and a serum creatinine

risk for which? - acute kidney injury
A pt with PAD is at increased risk for developing - ischemic stroke
MI
Abnormal S3 sound may be due to: - -Left ventricular failure
-Volume overload
-Regurgitation of the mitral, aortic, or tricuspid valves
(leakage of blood backward)
,Abnormal S4 sound may be due to resistance to ventricular filling from: - -hypertension
-ventricular hypertrophy

Acute disorders associated with DIC - -acute liver failure
-gram negative bacteria

Acute kidney failure definition: - -Alters kidney's ability to filter blood
-Lowers blood flow
-can be reversible
Acute renal failure has three phases. What are they? - -Oliguric phase
-Diuretic phase
-Recovery phase
Acute Renal failure onset: - 4 weeks to several months (rapid)
Administer of platelet transfusion and factor replacement therapy is initiated when - extensive
bleeding occurs
Adrenergic Blockers - A type of drug that blocks the action of substances, such as adrenaline, on
nerve cells and causes blood vessels to relax and dilate (widen). This allows blood to flow more easily
and lowers blood pressure and the heart rate.

Anemia - A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total
volume.
Angina Assessment data - chest pain assessment
nuclear stress test

angina is chest pain and a sign that there isn't enough - oxygen in the blood
anuria - absence of urine
Aortic stenosis - narrow of heart's aortic valve
Appendicitis - inflammation of the appendix
arteriogram - radiographic image of an artery
arteriosclerosis - thickening, loss of elasticity, and calcification (hardening) of arterial walls,
resulting in a decreased blood supply
